Summary
- HoYoverse has released a new video showcasing Robin in a style that simulates a music video, a fitting presentation given the character's status as a popular singer in Honkai: Star Rail.
- New five-star characters Robin and Boothill will be coming to Honkai: Star Rail 2.2, each bringing unique abilities to the game.
- Robin's kit focuses on supporting her party with buffs and a powerful Ultimate ability, Vox Harmonique, boosting ATK for all teammates.
A new Honkai: Star Rail trailer features the upcoming five-star character Robin in a music video-style presentation. The recently held live stream event has already confirmed that Robin will be featured in the first phase of the new Version 2.2 alongside Topaz, who is going to receive her first banner re-run.
Robin won't be the only new five-star Honkai: Star Rail character in 2.2, as HoYoverse also confirmed the arrival of the new DPS known as Boothill. This character will be featured in the second banner phase, which will also include the popular five-star Quantum user Fu Xuan.
The official Honkai: Star Rail YouTube channel has revealed an interesting trailer named "Sway to My Beat" that features the upcoming character Robin. Unlike most trailers, this one is done in the style of a music video, which is suitable considering that Robin is known as a famous Halovian singer. She was born in Penancony, which is also known as the Planet of Festivities. The video depicts Robin's life as one of the most famous stars in the Honkai universe. Some fans have noticed that, 15 seconds into the trailer, a couple of comments appear on an imaginary social media platform, left by popular HoYoverse characters such as the Captain from Honkai Impact 3rd and the Traveler, the main protagonist in Genshin Impact.
At the start of the trailer, viewers can see a hand cleaning Robin's headpiece. The familiar glove has led many fans to speculate that it belongs to Robin's brother, Sunday, who has made several appearances in the game. According to recent leaks, Sunday is also expected to join the Honkai: Star Rail playable roster in the next couple of months. This could mean that one of the upcoming updates could focus on the relationship between the two siblings.
Honkai: Star Rail - Robin's Kit Explained
Robin is a five-star Physical unit who follows the Path of Harmony, which means that she is a support that can provide various buffs to her party members. According to previous leaks, her main stats will be the ability to increase her ATK and CRIT Rate, as well as CRIT Damage. This means that she is a fairly flexible support, considering that most DPS units in Honkai: Star Rail rely on these stats for their damage output.
Robin's whole kit in Honkai: Star Rail revolves around her Ultimate, Vox Harmonique, which makes her enter a special state that increases all of her teammates' ATK. After a party member performs an attack, Robin will deal additional Physical damage equal to 120% of her Attack. During her ultimate, Robin is immune to Crowd Control effects and she cannot take turns.
